This is from a movie, seems like a fun movie, a comedy, a fictitious account of a real event right. A Royal Night Out from 2015, Elizabeth still in the Army but in Mufti and her sister Margaret in incognito, under an escort of two Army Officers, also in Mufti we should think, are allowed to party on VE Day, but every one gets separated in the tumult there in London, and have adventures of their own  LOL.
